Lost Hope

As tears start welling in the eyes of the hurt,
Thoughts of brokenness leave the heart torn.
Memories of happiness fade away into darkness,
Shadows of a face, linger,
Just out of reach of an outstretched hand.
The realization hits, the body crumbles,
While passing of a voice never to be heard.
The soul weeps, the body trembles,
For the touch of one so dear.
As the eyes open revealing the emptiness inside,
A faint breath is released.
Cries of the heart dissolve into the quiet of the night,
As consciousness slips away into the deep of the mind.
